Cindy,
Does he have an infectious disease Specialist working with him?
My hubby had the same thing , went in for dehydration and got a major infection. My worst moment came when I overheard his Doc saying to his colleague " I hope you can help him, he`s a nice guy ". Gulp !
I used to take beach towels into the hospital because he would sweat buckets throughout the night and, as the nurses could not get him dry quickly enough we would average 6 towels a night just to keep him comfortable.
Hopefully they will send him home and have home care come in to take care of him, you just cannot get him out of that hospital quickly enough.
We used to get Pete`s anti-biotic cocktail delivered, usually 6 at a time, they looked like balls or balloons and administer it through his port.
I know this is a really hard time for you, I have been where you are .
We will be thinking of you both and sending the best of wishes your way.
It won`t be too long until you will be telling some other board member how you coped way back when.
Take Care
Marica
